Election Year

This is the last week before the elections here in Guatemala. Although we have a democratically elected government here, there tends to be quite a bit of violent expression of opinion. Pray that the process will go smoothly and pray for the officials elected, that they will seek guidance from the Lord. Election day is Sunday the 9th.

On the work front, clinics are going well, and our co-worker, Sheri will be taking over our clinics this week. We admire her willing spirit and appreciate her experience and wisdom. We know God will bless her work.

I, Lisa am settling in to my work with the government clinic. As my brother Kriss puts it, " Now you're part of the problem". All kidding aside, it is interesting to see the "guidelines" put out by the government and the actual availability(or lack thereof) of resources to accomplish those. Should make for interesting work. The staff is nice, and interested in our work here. Even the anti-American-business, anti-short-term-medical-brigade doctor on staff was fascinated to find out that I am a Christian, and began talking about his lapsed spiritual life. Pray for us to be lights wherever we are working.

Well, have a peaceful Lord's Day, and so long for now.
